Track Of The Day - The Horde Edition

A majestic opening standout of progressive tech-/melodeath fury:

One of the only tracks I really like from this Damaged release, a slow song and a fast one for a great "yin-yang" deal:

Cyber melodeath in vicious perfection:

Melodeath from the far Northern lands of Finland:

A great unique sound of progressive/tech-death that's almost like if Yngwie Malmsteen joined At the Gates at the time:

Probably my newfound favorite 10+ minute epic by Wintersun, a glorious journey of symphonic melodeath:

This highlight starts off in the first minute sounding somewhere between doomy and almost a slam deathcore breakdown, and then launches into the usual black-ish tech-death:

A deathly classic shaped up by early Believer as well as Trail of Tears and Underoath at that time:

A couple death metal bands with some slight industrial tendencies:

My renewed interest in melodic/symphonic death metal really shows as I discover more bands of that sound such as the ones in these videos below, a couple of which I've heard of long ago but hadn't reached that spark until recently:

Gothic melodeath with touches of the Norwegian black metal scene and Dark Tranquillity's The Gallery:

The original demo version, ruling as much as the one that appears in the debut album:

I am glad Nile have posted this because this is a situation I always want to avoid and the advice on this public service video is invaluable if you too have no wish to be hung upside down on a stake in the underworld and made to eat feces by the four apes. I think more metal bands ought to contribute public service messages to help keep people safe in this crazy world of improbable divine punishments!

A 15-minute deathly storm, apart from some strange but quite welcome dubstep in the middle:

My renewed interest in melodic/symphonic/progressive death metal really shows as I discover more bands of that sound such as this Swedish melodeath band formed by ex-In Flames members including Dark Tranquillity vocalist Mikael Stanne:

This Roman Legion-themed Canadian symphonic death metal band that is a side project of Kataklysm:

And this progressive/technical death metal band from San Francisco:

A violent highlight of reckless percussion and sci-fi horror lyrics:

The awesome songwriting of heavy verses and melodic chorus is borrowed from Dark Tranquillity and other melodeath bands without ripping them off:

An epic diverse opening track to this Arch Enemy album, with Alissa White-Gluz's vocals shining the best as her clean singing is on full display:

The perfect track to exemplify what the new Dark Tranquillity album is going for thematically, darkness and dread for the endtimes:

My renewed interest in melodic/symphonic/progressive death metal really shows as I discover more bands of that sound such as this German tech-death band:

And this Chicago-based melodeath/symphonic power metal band:

A melodic calm surrounding the heavy storm:
